http://scdnug.org/blogs/events/archive/2007/11/16/Visual-Studio-2008-Install-fest.aspx.  Let me reitierate what free means here. First fo all it is free like beer (not free like a puppy).  But... there is no glass for the beer.  You must drink it right there and then from the tap.  That is, you are not given install media or such at this event.  You are only temporarily given a CD to install with and that is it.  You are licensed for the instance of this installation only.  Hope to see everyone there!  Even if you don't need VS 2008, come by and have a beer and say Hello to everyone.  Microsoft has been known to buy a beer or two...  no promises.
